What can I use to clean my guitar fretboard?
Clean the fretboard – Use fine steel wool to remove stubborn gunk from Rosewood/Ebony/Pau Ferro fretboards, and apply Lemon Oil to re-hydrate. Use a damp cloth to clean Maple fretboards. Polish the guitar body – For Poly-finished (gloss) guitars, spray guitar polish onto a soft cloth and wipe down.
What household items can I use to clean my guitar?
Household furniture polish and all-purpose cleaners—such as Pine Sol, Windex, and 409—will also damage your finish. The only household product that's safe to use to clean your guitar is white distilled vinegar.
Can I use vinegar to clean fretboard?
Dab vinegar onto a cotton ball.
Dab vinegar onto a cotton ball. I use rice vinegar, but any neutral vinegar will do (don't use balsamic) because it is a wonderful cleaning agent. Rub the vinegar over the fret board carefully as you replace each string. Note: Never take all of your strings off at once while restringing.
Can I use wipes on my fretboard?
I just use a clean cloth on a regular basis to wipe down the strings top and bottom. Both top and bottom cleanings also gets the fretboard. Crud doesn't accumulate.
